[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 260746, member: 16153"] I shared your concern when I was debating getting my forks done last year. I had already sprung the bike for my weight and it made a substantial difference alone. On many newer bikes, this may be all that is required (assumming your bike is valved for what you ride, ie-exc, plush, mxc-firmer). Obviously, if you are riding an mx bike in the woods, you may be getting beat up a little. As to changing the springs, that should be done FIRST thing if you arent very close to the target range of the bikes stock springs. That alone made a huge difference in my bike, as well as getting the shock \ sag set up correctly. These two things should get most of us feeling better and more confident with our suspension. Moving on to the valving, I sent my forks off to MX-tech and had the full deal done (piston, mid-valve, stack) and was extremely anxious to see the difference it would make. To be blunt, it did make a difference. Enough so that my riding style changed considerably. Although this was frustrating at first (getting used to), it has paid off considerably since. I really noticed the plushness of the bike when the going gets tight and\or rocky. A week long trip to Colorado sold me on my suspension. Riding over 2-3 foot rocks for a large part of 500 miles will make you either hate or love riding that area. Whoever says that Colorado is beautiful country probably never rode it! Even so, I hope to go back again this year and do some more scenic riding (hehehehee). My fear of rocks has diminished greatly since my forks were re-valved and my trip to Colorado. When I do ride moto's I have quite a bit of adjustability to make my bike work pretty good for jumps, etc. For my riding, it did make a difference and I am happy to have done it. [/QUOTE]
